I am a Psychotherapist, Dance Movement Therapist and Dancer!
Let’s Connect!
Being a therapist, my passion is to be present for those in need. As I say this, I feel honored to help those who are going through and have been through trauma, grief and anxiety. I am willing to help you through your journey.
Personally, I have lived through the experience of childhood trauma and this has resulted in helping me identify and recognize my strengths and vulnerabilities. As an adult, I continue to grow and heal. I understand it is a process of evolution. When we have wounds from our childhood and we are going through pain, it can be hard to focus and stay grounded. I am here to help you through the process of healing.
I have had experience working with children, adolescents and adults. Currently, my main focus is to work with clients who are 18+.
My Approach
I use a genuine and non judgmental approach to look at where you are at and how you require support. I am ready to provide a listening ear and give my own personal examples of healing assuring you that I am right here with you. I will stay with you through the roller coaster ride during therapy sessions. I do not get shocked, intimidated or shaken easily. I have heard it all and I can hold the space for you.
I believe that it is very important to work with emotions and thoughts to help you feel connected with yourself. I delve into your stories from the past and present and help you through the process of healing and understanding the deep-seated wounds you have been carrying.
The interventions I use are holistic and integrated. A combination of Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Gestalt Therapy and Expressive Arts Therapy which includes art, poetry, and movement is provided during the sessions. I provide the space for you to express using talk therapy or/and expressive therapies. This is a collaborative approach and I provide the space for you to make sure you are comfortable with the therapeutic approaches, especially the expressive arts.
